India’s Road Construction Sector Geared Up for PM Modi’s Vision of Speed & Scale

The Ministry of Road Construction and Highways (MoRTH) has set a scorching pace of development in the construction of highways as part of its pivotal role in developing the Indian economy. India’s national highway construction slowed to 28.64 km a day in 2021-22 due to COVID-19 pandemic-related disruptions and a longer-than-usual monsoon in some parts of the country. Overcoming all constraints, the targeted growth of highway construction would be among the best road construction rates in the world, reflecting the Speed and Scale vision in the truest sense.
